Preston North End manager Ryan Lowe discussed a range of topics in his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon.
Ahead of Queens Park Rangers' visit to Deepdale on Friday night, the PNE boss was quizzed on the Rs, goalkeeper Freddie Woodman, the returning Robbie Brady and more.
Here's what he had to say on all of the above...
5. Freddie Woodman's form and subsequent criticism (continued)
"At the moment, it hasn't been good but the minute we put it right - hopefully Friday - then I am sure that good will come back because you cannot question someone like Freddie Woodman's integrity and quality. He's a top goalkeeper and I am sure he will put the games right, he feels he's not been good in. And clean sheets will be around the corner for him, but as I've said to Fred: I don't care if we win 2-1, 3-1, 3-2, as long as we win. I am sure he'll get back to where he's been." | National World Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
6. Freddie Woodman seemingly deleting his social media accounts
"I don't want to get involved in all of that. I just don't want to talk about whatever Freddie does on social media. If we're talking about football then listen, no problem. But, he has got my backing and I know - whoever has been giving him c""p and writing rubbish - then they will probably revert it back. The minute he has a good game, he is then a top quality keeper and all I can say is that he's fine in himself. I spoke to him this morning, he's in good spirits and he knows - for his standards - that he needs to be better. I've got full backing for him and he will be better. As the manager, I don't really care what goes on or gets deleted on social media. It is none of my business. As long as I know Fred is in a good space and can put everything right, that he feels is not right - but for me he's been doing excellently." Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
7. Robbie Brady's return from suspension and his chat with the number 11 after Cardiff City red card
"Of course we speak, but I can't tell you what we speak about, for you to fill the paper about me saying this and that to him," said Lowe. "But yeah, he's disappointed. He let everyone down, he knows that and again, all these lads are good lads. They don't mean to do that and Rob was gutted about it. Getting sent off is not a good thing and he held his hand up to say it was his bad, but what we speak about - not everything has to go out to the press and wider public." | National World Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
8. Robbie Brady's return from suspension and chat with the number 11 after Cardiff City red card (continued)
"We keep things in house. Rob is a fantastic lad and he knows he needs to do better in games. But, the good thing about us is that togetherness with staff and players. What gets said in house stays in house, and he was disappointed - of course he was, because he didn't want to get sent off." | National World Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
